I want to preface this with I am not a hater of Nike or any clubs, so I don't want this thread to turn into one of those debates or OEM bashing threads. I just wanted to point out that Nike's staff is showing extremely well on the tour this year. At the Accenture Match Play 3 of the final four were Nike staff and right now they have four of the top 6 going into the final round at the Masters! It's not that they are just having their staff winning tournaments, four so far this year, they are dominating the top of the leaderboard as well!
They have 21 top ten finishes to date this year to go with those four wins. They also have 5 players in the top 20 in the Fed Ex Cup standings and four of the five are in the top 10! The same goes for the money list this year as well. Finally they have four players in the top 30 in the World Golf Rankings. I know that Nike Golf is primarily thought of as Tiger Woods, but it seems as if the rest of the stable for Nike is doing quite well on their own and are pretty consistent. Will Nike add another victory tomorrow? There's a good chance they will and probably get a few more top 10 finishes to go with it as well.
On my last note, I am pulling for Tiger to pull it off tomorrow and get the jacket, but if he doesn't I would like to see Trevor win. He is a total class act and a great golfer that really flies under the radar in the media.
Full Version: Nike showing extremely well on tour this year!
I noticed that they had four (Woods, Immelman, Cink, and Casey) as well. And it seems like all of them have been with Nike for awhile. It's good odds for the swoosh tomorrow.

They had this kind of success the last 3 years. They have had the most wins with Driver; Irons and Fairway woods the last 3 years. They have the top 3 in greens in regulation on the PGA Tour as of 2 weeks ago. The Nike Tour Staff is very deep and top level players. Tiger; KJ; Cink: Ames; Immelman; Campbell; Leonard; Casey to name a few. GREAT WIN BY TREVOR!!!
